Remarks/comments: I must have spent a few hours doing research on the real thing. I had to surf some Japanese web pages. Very little information on them. And the lack of photos of them suggest non may survive.
Japan doesn't seem to want to keep many old vehicles around unlike us in the west.
I found three photos of these on the net. One even had Isuzu badging on the front. That really through me for a loop.
One of the photos was in a Japanese Fire Fighting magazine.
The base of this has an error. It has the model name of the Isuzu TXD 23F casting stamped on it... But it does have the correct casting number for this Fuso.
The four castings that came in this series didn't really go through much visual changes except the wheels and base. I believe these wheels are the earliest found on them. With the 'Four Dot' second and then the cheap looking ones lastly.
This is the view of the engine of 461 taken from inside. With the rear seats removed the engine can be seen. Its seen having had its engine head taken off for use on one of its sisters. Most of the engine will be dismantled for spares for the other two darts.

Liberty L-12 Aircraft Engine
The Liberty engine was designed at the request of the U.S. Government's Aircraft Production Board in May 1917. Designed in only five days it became one of the most produced and successful early American aircraft engines. The engine was specifically designed to be easy to mass produce and more than 20,000 were produced between 1917 and 1919. Most of the major and many smaller automobile manufacturers in the U.S. were given contracts to produce Liberty engines. This particular one was built by the Lewis Spring and Axle Company of Chelsea, Michigan.
